History of Temple
Peralassery, on the Anjarakandy river in Kannur district, is home to the well-known Sree Subrahmanya Temple. The shrine has long been a centre of devotion for the surrounding villages and is associated with the region's serpent-worship traditions.
The temple's annual festival and its sacred pond draw devotees from across north Malabar, while the town itself grew around the shrine and the old trade routes of the area.
